Culture and History

The Aurich branch of the Lower Saxony State Archives is located in the area surrounding Westerholt.

The church in Westerholt was probably built between 1250 and 1270. It preserves remnants of medieval wall paintings and has a historic wooden pulpit with a folding panel, which is described as one of the oldest wooden pulpits in East Frisia.

It is historically significant as a former fortified church: it was once surrounded by a rampart and moat and served to protect the western border of the sphere of power of the rulers of Harlingerland.

Westerholt is located on the historic road from Oldenburg via Friedeburg, Aurich and Norden and is described as an old settlement area.

Westerholt is home to the Evangelical Lutheran Peace Church congregation of Westerholt; its Peace Church is open during the week for silent prayer. For travellers interested in ecclesiastical culture, the open Peace Church is a specific attraction in Westerholt.
